I prefer PRIVI but PMC is GTG and a tad cheaper.

55 gr. PMC Bronze is good to go.
Put it on a Chrono two weeks ago. ETA: Sorry about not adding this information. The Bronze is slower than I remember it being. Doesn't keep me from buying it though. I don't think the Zombies will care.  Sixty two degrees ambient temp. Bushmaster 20" 5.56mm Nato Barrel. Results: All measured in Feet Per Second @ 6 feet from muzzle. PMC 223 Bronze: 3111, 3078, 3107, 3107, 3119, 3059, 3059, 3059, 3059 Federal XM193: 3326, 3332, 3324, 3345, 3350, 3369, 3405, 3390, 3388 S&B SS109 : 3195, 3148, 3148, 3148, 3239, 3216, 3182, 3213, 3202, 3131, 3205, 3178, 3214, 3223, 3226 Winchester (M855): 3179, 3163, 3163, 3176, 3154, 3137, 3132, 3178, 3120, 3123 YMMV -Arbiter |

GTG for target / plinking.

I bought 1k rounds of PMC Bronze and have burned through about half that. No failures of any kind and the ammo is at least as accurate as I am. The price is competitive.

PMC is GTG...get used to shooting it anyway, as Pirvi will not be shipping any more rifle ammunition till Jan. 2010.

I have had great success with PMC in 223 it is the most accurate in my gun compared to fed american eagle ,walmart federal
s&b and remington, privi m193. So far the only ammo that shoots more accurate than PMC is my own reloads using match bullets from sierra. I have shot 500 rounds of PMC with no problems. |

That XM193 is HOT and the fave plinking round of all of my Colt 1/7 and RRA 1/8 ARs. |

I’ve never shot PMC in .223 but I tried some in 7.62X39 and it was the worst ammo I’ve ever used. The bullet pushed back into the case almost every time I chamber a round. Other ammo shot fine out of the same AK. PMC did replace the ammo for me in another caliber, but only after I had to repeatedly call and email. I won’t buy PMC unless it’s significantly cheaper than other options.

Quoted: PMC is GTG...get used to shooting it anyway, as Pirvi will not be shipping any more rifle ammunition till Jan. 2010. Mmmmm....no one knows when Prvi will ship again. It will take a while to get the production lines running again. Then the ammo must loaded into conex boxes, trucked to a port, loaded on to the ship, sail across the ocean, be unloaded, trucked to the importer and possibly unloaded from the conex and trucked again to the final seller. It will take a while. |

Just thought I would add that I used the 55 grain PMC Bronze as the ammo to test and break in my first ever AR15 (I built). Worked reliably enough. Seemed to leave a lot of black in the barrel, but I am very new to all of this, so maybe that is normal. With a scope, my best 5 shot group with it was .625. Most other groups were .75". Shooting off a sand bag, front and rear.

I have put over 3000 rounds of the PMC Bronze through my Bushy without a hiccup! Great ammo for paper. The brass is good for reloading also. You can't beat the price as long as your not shooting Wolf. I think its GTG, just my .02
